A Winter Watermelon, 2019
This poster represents the film “A Winter Watermelon” in which the director is Hwang Yu-jung. It was made for an event “100 Films 100 Posters” of Jeonju international film festival. In this event, 100 graphic designers designed 100 film posters. The posters in the event are aimed at excluding a commercial pressure and convention of film posters to represent freely the heart of the film by graphic designer.
The film “A Winter Watermelon” tells a gap between ideal and reality of the main character through ‘a watermelon’. The reason that I drew a big watermelon on the poster is that I thought the important factors in the most scenes appear metaphorically or directly through a watermelon. Twisting and deforming the watermelon pattern represent the conflicting feelings and a gap between the ideal and reality of the main character. The background in the film is winter, which means reality. I represented it by using a cool gray color instead of using a warm color with soft snow. As well, the festival logo is labeled such as a fruit sticker, matching with the other visual elements.
이 포스터는 황유정 감독의 영화 “겨울의 수박”을 나타낸 포스터로, 전주국제영화제의 행사 100필름 100포스터를 위해 제작되었다. 행사는 기존 영화 포스터의 관습과 상업적 압력을 배제하여 그래픽 디자이너가 영화의 핵심을 자유롭게 해석하여 나타내는 것을 목표로 하며, 100명의 그래픽 디자이너가 100편의 영화 포스터를 만들어낸다.
영화 "겨울의 수박"은 수박을 통해 주인공의 이상과 현실의 괴리를 나타낸다. 포스터에 수박 하나를 크게 나타낸 이유는, 영화의 장면 속 주요 요소들이 수박을 통해 은유적으로 또는 직접적으로 나타나는 것이 이 영화의 핵심이라고 생각했기 때문이다. 비틀어지거나 변형된 수박 무늬는 주인공의 상반된 감정과 이상과 현실 사이의 괴리를 나타낸다. 이 영화의 배경인 겨울은 ‘현실’이다. 그래서 포스터의 배경은 눈이 내리는 포근한 겨울이 아닌 차가운 회색으로 표현되었다. 영화제 로고는 다른 요소들과 자연스럽게 어울릴 수 있도록 과일 스티커처럼 나타냈다.
Posters for a exhibition <Goods is good>, 2019
<Goods is Good> is an exhibition held by D project space from February 23 to September 1, 2019. In the exhibition, it had displayed various artworks created by 35 illustrators. The concept of exhibition was ‘Market’ in order to make the visitors feel familiar to the illustrations throught this concept. The artworks and goods were compised of four categories: fruits and vegetables, marine products, fresh meat, and frozen food.
The posters reflect the concept of exhibition ‘Market’. Carts and baskets are used for main graphic elements of poster. The big, long, small, and trapezoidal carts from the moving poster represent that many illustrators and customers come to market and participate in the exhibition. A scene of animation in the moving poster, where beads are collected, reminds of the scence when goods are put into carts. I brought the idea from the titles of exhibition and museum—the actual titles of exhibition and museum in English are differ from the titles in Korean. The literal translation of exhibition title in Korean means ‘Goods, Collect, Market’, and the literal translation of museum title in Korean means ‘Bead, Collect, Pool hall’. The red, green, blue, and ivory baskets in the poster show the actual baskets in the exhibition space and function as a divider of space depending on each categories. The tone and manner of poster reflect the mood of exhibition place.

디프로젝트 스페이스 구슬모아당구장은 2019년 2월 23일부터 9월 1일 까지 35명의 일러스트레이터들의 작품과 굿즈를 한 자리에서 만나 볼 수 있는 전시 <굿즈모아마트 - GOODS IS GOOD>를 개최했다. 이 전시는 ‘마트’ 컨셉으로, 다양한 장르의 작품과 굿즈가 ‘청과’, ‘수산’, ‘정육’, ‘냉동식품’ 등의 카테고리로 나뉘어 구성되고, 관람객들이 일러스트레이션을 보다 친숙하게 경험할 수 있도록 기획됐다.
전시 포스터는 ‘마트’를 연상케 하는 전시컨셉을 반영하여, 실제 마트에서 사용되는 카트와 장바구니를 주요 그래픽 요소로 사용하였다. 무빙 포스터에서의 커다란, 길쭉한, 작은, 사다리꼴의 카트는 다양한 일러스레이터와 소비자가 굿즈모아마트에 참여하고, 찾아온다는 의미를 나타내고자 했다. 무빙포스터에서 ‘구슬’이 ‘모아지는’ 애니메이션은 굿즈를 담는 장면을 연상시키며, 미술관 이름과 전시명에서 아이디어를 가져왔다. 무빙포스터 외 빨간색, 초록색, 파란색, 상아색의 장바구니는, 전시장에 비치된 실제 전시의 메인 아이템임과 동시에 각각의 구획으로 작가를 구분해주는 역할을 했다. 포스터의 전체적인 톤앤 매너는 미술관의 아이덴티티와 실제 전시공간의 분위기를 반영하여 결정됐다.

It is impossible to define the word ‘neutral’ using one expression on which everyone can agree. Then, how can ‘neutral’ be described in a text or image? To answer this, Son Ayong set up 12 questions that use assorted objects (balloons, shoes, candles, lightings, cups, chairs, gloves, apples, pears, etc.) to investigate ‘neutral’ and ask the experimenter to answer those questions. The work is the outcome of surveying images deemed ‘neutral’ from the process and it reveals diverse perspectives and points on the word ‘neutral’.

‘중립’이라는 단어를 모든 사람이 동의할 수 있는 단 하나의 표현으로 정의하기는 불가능할 것이다. 글 또는 이미지로 중립을 어떻게 표현할 수 있을까? 그 답을 찾기 위해 손아용은 다양한 사물들(풍선, 신발, 촛불, 조명, 컵, 의자, 장갑, 칼, 사과, 배 등)을 이용해 중립에 관해 묻는 열두 가지 질문을 만들어 피실험자들에게 답을 작성하도록 했다. 해당 작품은 이러한 과정을 통해 생성된 중립의 이미지를 수집한 결과물이며, 중립이라는 단어를 바라보는 여러 시각과 관점을 보여준다.

Kits for the End and the Beginning, 2017
It is about archiving <Sonkim Construction> business, which I ran for a year. The Sonkim Constuction that had created biscuit house kit, would be indefinitely closed one day in 2017. It is unknown how, when and where it would be re-opened. It has not failed, though, it can be called <An end waiting for a beginning.> To sum up, A Kit for the End and the Beginning, is my work that came from a wish to make a kit for the beginning of that someday, which it can be eventually opened.

WEBSITE
object.click, 2019
Background(object.click) is a work born from the question, "How does understanding visual code affect identity?" It is a work that expresses how the identity of objects in images varies according to the surrounding environment through web technology. Two different objects of the same shape are displayed with different backgrounds and background sounds, and their presence is slightly revealed by the spectator's actions, such as clicking, mouse-overing, and making sound.

배경(object.click)은 "시각적 코드를 이해하는 일은 정체성에 어떤 영향을 미치는 걸까?"라는 물음으로 시작한 작업으로서 이미지 속 사물의 정체성이 주변 환경에 따라 어떻게 달라지는지 웹 기술을 통해 표현한 작업이다. 같은 형태의 서로 다른 두 사물은 배경과 배경음이 달리 연출되고, 관찰자의 클릭과 마우스 오버, 소리 내기 등의 동작 수행을 통해서 그 정체를 조금씩 드러낸다.

Elur is an experimental illustration platform, producing interesting images through rules. Every year, the platform sets new rules for image of new project and discusses illustration. The Project of ELUR in 2019 was ‘CATvsDOG’. ‘CATvsDOG’ was an event in which 100 Korean illustrators participated in, half of them was on the side of CAT and the other half of them was on the side of DOG. They could draw the subject of their choice between CAT and DOG. Then, they battled with each other’s illustration on on-line during a month.
The website was composed by two columns to show the battle concept and the fair quantity of images between cats and dogs. Whenever the website is refreshed, the illustrations are randomly placed on the top of the main page to be seen fairly. If people click on any illustration, they can see the information of illustrator. And the website includes a function, that people can vote by clicking the buttons shaped as a foot of cat and dog. People could see the live vote results through a graph on the top of the main page. On the basis of the layout of main page, the left page is composed of the introduction of project, and the right page is composed of the interviews by illustrators.

에루어는 규칙을 통해 흥미로운 이미지를 생산해내는 일러스트레이션 플랫폼이다. 프로젝트마다 특정한 규칙이나 장치를 고안해 이미지를 만들며, 일러스트레이션에 관한 담론을 다룬다. 에루어의 2019년 프로젝트는 ‘CATvsDOG’였다. ‘CATvsDOG’는 한국 일러스트레이터 100인이 각 50명씩 CAT팀 또는 DOG팀으로 나누어져, 선택한 동물을 소재 삼아 각자의 방식대로 일러스트레이션 작업을 하고, 이를 통해 얻은 결과물로 약 한 달간 온라인에서 대결을 펼치는 행사였다.
웹사이트는 행사의 주요 콘셉트인 ‘대결 구도’를 유지하기 위해, 고양이와 강아지가 공평한 숫자로 노출될 수 있도록 2단 레이아웃으로 구성되고, 새로 고침 할 때마다 각 팀 내에서의 순서가 랜덤으로 배치되었다. 일러스트레이션을 클릭하면 해당 일러스트레이터의 정보를 볼 수 있고, 각각의 일러스트레이션 밑 발바닥 버튼을 누르면 투표할 수 있는 기능이 부여됐다. 상단 그래프를 통해 투표 현황을 볼 수 있었으며, 메인 화면을 기준으로 왼쪽 페이지는 CATvsDOG의 소개와 행사참여 방법을 안내하고, 오른쪽 페이지는 작가들의 인터뷰 내용으로 구성되었다.
